RENOVATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT AT POST OFFICE
LETTER BOXES TO BE MOVED OVER TO SOUTH SIDE OF BUILDING
PLANS ALSO CALL FOR FINE LARGE DOOR AT PUBLIC ENTRANCE
[Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 30 October 1931]
William Jarvis, superintendent of the post office building, has five blue-prints, drawn by Chief Architect T.W. Fuller of the public works department of the public works department, Ottawa, for the renovations to be carried out in the Welland post office. Mr. Jarvis interviewed by The Tribune his morning, stated that there were now approximately 700 letter boxes in the building. After the renovations were completed there would be only approximately 350 boxes including 225 ordinary boxes, 72 a little larger, 42 drawers, six big mail boxes and a few others. These letter boxes are all to be moved over from the north side of the building to the south side.
The plans and specifications call also for a fine large door at the public entrance, which is to be at the south end of the building. The door will be encased in brick, with two windows above it, and a handsome brass mail receiver forming the centre piece. This will serve to give the post office an imposing exterior.
The idea of the renovations is to provide the post office more space than they have had to date. It is expected that the new quarters will be ready by Christmas.
